0:01:41 > 0:01:43You hear something?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's the doorbell.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Are you sure?- Mm-hmm.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What time is it?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Quarter to six.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- What is it?- Someone left a box.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Who?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I don't know. There was a car and they just drove off.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Did Santa come early this year?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I guess we're up.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13You never really believed in Santa Claus, did you?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Not really. You should've come up with a better story
0:03:16 > 0:03:17than a fat guy coming down the chimney.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- It's so illogical.- And illegal.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21It's breaking and entering.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26What kind of car was it?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Well, it was black.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- OK. - Why would they just drive off?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35I don't know, sweetheart.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Get the box.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43What is it?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Never seen anything like it before in my life.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, you need a key to open it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55There's a note.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Looks like a wedding invitation.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Is it some sort of bridesmaid gift from the Powells?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07"Mr Steward will call upon you at 5pm."
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Do you know a Mr Steward?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I don't. Do you?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- It's snowing. - It won't stick.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Hey. PB and J.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Did you cut the bread into squares? - Of course, like always.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, don't do that. Squares are for babies.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00- Hey, Mrs Lewis. - Hi, Mrs Lewis.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Morning, boys.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Feel free to call me Norma. Mrs Lewis makes me feel old.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07You are old.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm only 35.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Yeah, to us, that's old.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You're kind of a geezer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You'll be a geezer one day too, Mr Smarty-Pants.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Why does the bus stop have to be in the front of my driveway?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25So I can watch my little Walter get on the bus safe, in one piece.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Please go inside, you're embarrassing me.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- My love embarrasses you? - Yes, it does.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What if I give my big strong Walter a big hug and a kiss...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34right before he gets on the bus?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Do it, do it! - Mom, get off.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11So, who's Mr Steward?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I have no idea.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Is it someone from school?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I don't know.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Is it your secret lover?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I hate you.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I hate you too.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Three strangers trapped in a room for all eternity.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Each wanting something from the other.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54A wish unfulfilled.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57This is Sartre's vision of hell.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Hell is other people.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05Yes. Hell is other people seeing you for who you truly are.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So, what does this mean for Estelle?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It means she's going to rot in hell.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14She's a slut who married for money and killed her baby.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20It's slightly more complicated than that, Charles.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24See, she was poor and married into money to save her family.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25What happened to your foot?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I beg your pardon?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I've seen you limp.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Did something happen to your foot?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Can we see it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- My foot?- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Can we see what it looks like?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Why don't you just shut up? - Yeah, come on.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Yes, in the back. Rhonda.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yes. Can you elaborate on the soil tests?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The gas exchange experiment measures the production
0:09:39 > 0:09:42or uptake of CO2, nitrogen...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45methane, hydrogen and oxygen...

0:09:53 > 0:09:54The NSA?
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Yes, Martin Teague, deputy director of the NSA is here in Langley.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Why is the NSA here at Langley?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Would you tell us about tests...?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Would an ancient Martian civilization have left something behind?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Sorry, I have no comment on that, but I thank you for the information, Rhonda. Any other questions?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Arthur Lewis. I used to work in the optics lab.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I helped design the camera.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- There in the back. - If NASA continues funding...
0:10:31 > 0:10:33In your short time with us,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36you've really become part of our family here at Libby Hill.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That's why it's so difficult to tell you this.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45We've cancelled the faculty tuition discount.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Starting when?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Next semester.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I'm real sorry about this, Norma.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I know you are.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Your nose is bleeding.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Why does your mom limp?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33None of your business.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- So, what are you going to do? - I don't know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41We're already living paycheck to paycheck.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Well, what does Arthur think?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45He doesn't know yet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47God, this is going to devastate him.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Then again, he's still living on Mars.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57What is it with you and that tie?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Third time you've worn that this week.- This is my lucky tie.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01God knows you need it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05I should loan it to you since today's the big day, huh?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Yep.- Absolutely.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Yeah. You're getting a little too big for them britches.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'll guess I'll have to tell the boss
0:12:18 > 0:12:21that you've been working on a personal project on company time.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Is that what you're going to do?- Absolutely.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Terry, don't blow the place up! - Yeah, I know, I know.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well, it's a Christmas present for Norma. Is that all right with you?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33It's sweet, I guess. Where's my present?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Merry Christmas.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40I assume you received the box I left on your doorstep.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46And you found the button unit inside the box?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Is that what you call it?

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yes, we do.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07May I come in?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Sure.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Can I offer you anything?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Oh, no, thank you. I never have much of an appetite.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Shall we sit down?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34So...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37..are you trying to sell me something?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Yes, in a way. I do have an offer to make.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43What are you offering?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46A financial opportunity.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Let me explain.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53In this envelope, there is a key.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I'll show you.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00This key opens the glass dome to the button unit.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Voila.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Now, if you push the button,

0:15:11 > 0:15:14First, someone,

0:15:18 > 0:15:19will die.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Second...

0:16:00 > 0:16:04in exchange for your kindness in allowing me into your home.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13You're going to give me this 100 bill...
0:16:13 > 0:16:14even if I say no?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16That is correct.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Are you for real?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Oh, I assure you, Mrs Lewis...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27this offer is quite real.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Who do you work for?
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Guarantee of payment comes with three restrictions, I'm afraid.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49Two - you are not permitted to discuss the details of this
0:16:49 > 0:16:53with anyone, except your husband, of course.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Three - you have 24 hours.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02You have until five o'clock tomorrow to make your decision,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04at which point...
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I shall return and retrieve the button unit.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It will be reprogrammed...
0:17:10 > 0:17:15and the offer will be made to someone else.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's been a pleasure meeting you, Mrs Lewis.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Oh! It's a new prosthesis for her foot.- You got it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38But I'm using the new GE Silastic polymer
0:17:38 > 0:17:40they're developing for the pilot chairs for the shuttle.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Nice, pal.- Thank you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Hey. What happened to her foot?
0:17:47 > 0:17:52When she was 17, her brother dropped a barbell on her foot.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55She thinks one of her toes is broken, so she goes to the hospital.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The doctor sets her in a chair, turns the X-ray machine on...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01then goes to check on another patient down the hall.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And he forgets all about Norma.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Leaves the X-ray machine running.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Oh, Jesus, that's....
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- That's not good.- No.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The tissue in four of her toes was completely destroyed by the radiation.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17They had to amputate four of her toes?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yep. Then they had to go in and get skin from her inner thigh
0:18:20 > 0:18:22to cover the front of her foot.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23This is back in 1958,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27so they didn't have the skin-graft techniques they do now.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31And she had to sit like this, the same position...
0:18:31 > 0:18:35full body cast, for a month, waiting for it to heal.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Jesus. I hope she sued this idiot.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Yeah. Her family sued and they won.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- What was the settlement? - 10,000.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If this sucker works, she can start jogging again.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I hope so.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55That's a nice thing you're doing for Norma.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Thank you, sir.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58One good turn deserves another.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02This just arrived for you. Certified mail from...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05..The Astronaut Corps?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33This is a joke?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Well, that's the way it came. Nobody opened it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well, it says I was rejected.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41What?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'Arthur Lewis. His astronaut application was rejected.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52'Can you tell me why?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53OK.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Arthur, they say you failed the psychological exam.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07You got to be kidding me?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09That makes no sense.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Norm, I aced every test.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I was counting on this.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33You know?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40There are many great opportunities here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Yeah, we just got a grant to develop optics
0:20:41 > 0:20:44for the new planetary camera system. You're perfect for it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50A quasimanagerial position that doesn't exist?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, we'll always have Mars.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24"Alice, honey, when are you and me going to get together?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27"When Barry Goldwater gets together with Jane Fonda!"
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Before I could ask him any more questions,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32he got in his car and drove away.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Ooh... - What are you doing? Be careful!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- CHUCKLING:- Oh, come on, Norma, you can't think this thing's real.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Did you get his license plate?- No.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Your dad's a cop. Always got to get the license plate.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well, I was a little overwhelmed.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, so somewhere in the world someone you don't know will die?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Yeah. Shh.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Yes, those were his exact words.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Did he say how they would die? - No.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03And he offered you a briefcase full of cash?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yes, he said it was a million dollars,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07and it looked real.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11What did he look like?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You don't want to know.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16What do you mean?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Well, he must've been a burn victim...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22because half of his face was gone.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Really?- Yes, gone.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Are you messing with me?- No.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Yes, you are.- No, I'm not.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We're going to be late for the play.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- (I'll lock it up downstairs.) - (All right.)
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I would like to buy St Charles Place.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47OK, St Charles Place.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Hi, Mrs Lewis.- Hi, Dana.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Did Mr Steward show up?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah, he stopped by.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Well, so, what does it do?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04What happens when you push the button?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Nothing special.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Did he give you a key to the dome? I bet it does something cool.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You sure do ask a lot of questions.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And now you're avoiding them.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Hey, big mouth, that's enough. All right?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23In bed by ten o'clock?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Yes, sir.- All right.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Thanks, Dana.- Goodnight.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Goodnight.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32- That's yours.- OK.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34My turn.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38CAROL SINGERS SING He was very charming.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43I honestly believe he would give us that entire briefcase full of money.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- ACTRESS LAUGHS - For ever and ever and ever.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, well...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56let's get on with it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01MOURNFUL STRING MUSIC
0:24:05 > 0:24:08APPLAUSE
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So, what are you thinking?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14All right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Look, there's absolutely no upside for him in this deal, OK?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20So he's a con artist. The bill's a counterfeit.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23You don't just give someone 10O with no strings attached.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- That's just crazy. - Maybe he IS crazy.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I mean, maybe he's mentally ill and he's just using this device
0:24:29 > 0:24:31as some sort of excuse to murder someone
0:24:31 > 0:24:33and then blame us for it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So, should we call the police? What do you want to do?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39If we tell anyone, the deal is off.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40No money.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- He said that? - Yes, we can't tell anyone.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Let's go home. - All right. I'll get our coats.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Well, someone spent a lot of time designing this.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Anodized aluminium, hand-blown glass.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04It looks expensive.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Hello...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18What are you doing?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'm going to take a look inside.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Look at this silly....
0:25:23 > 0:25:24There we go.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Nothing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49No transmitter, no radio.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52If we pushed the button right now, there's no way he'd even know.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK, just... You know what?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Put it back together. I don't want you breaking it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Well, what do you care?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Because, either way, he's going to come back to retrieve it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02He says he takes the box, he reprograms it
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and then he makes the offer to someone else.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I don't know what he's going to reprogram. It's a piece of wood.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- TV:- "People start pollution. People can..."
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So, are you going to push it or not?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's not my decision to make.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28It's ours and I would never push it without you knowing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Don't forget to turn off the tree lights.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35No, I like leaving them on.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37It's a fire hazard.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Yeah, but it keeps the Christmas spirit alive while we sleep.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We could die.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Everybody dies, Norma.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Fine.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Leave them on.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12"Strange. He only makes house calls when you're out of town..."
0:27:12 > 0:27:13What are you thinking?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I'm thinking we're never going to see that much money.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25And why do you say that?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Be realistic, Arthur. You work for the government.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36God knows we both spend too much money.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Sure would make it easier to live the life we want.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Honey...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44why do we need a million dollars to be happy?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We don't.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48But imagine what we could accomplish.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I mean, we could provide security for our entire family.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Look, you know, I don't need to work at NASA for ever.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I can get another job.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Are we ever going to leave Richmond?
0:28:18 > 0:28:22We're going to have to postpone my foot surgery.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24No, we're not doing that. You need that surgery.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Yeah, I know, but we can't afford it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Well, then push the button. See what happens.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35I'm scared.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Norma, why are you scared?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44You didn't see his face.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- I'm calling the police. - You can't.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Right, because then the deal is off.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Norma, how the hell is he going to know if we even call anyone?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Does he have the house bugged?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59It's a gift to each of the bridesmaids at the wedding.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02They're going to make a big joke of it tonight and...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Doc Powell's going to ask who pushed the button and who didn't.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09And everyone's going to have a laugh at the con artist he hired...
0:29:09 > 0:29:11to show up at our doorstep.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26MACHINE BEEPS
0:29:26 > 0:29:28ROCKET ROARS
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- WOMAN CRYING ON PHONE: - I was at the grocery store, and she wandered
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- into the next aisle. - Well, where is she?
0:29:37 > 0:29:38I ran out into the parking lot.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41They put her in the back of a van and drove off!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44OK. Look, lock all the doors.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- She just vanished, Jeffrey! - I'm on my way home.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I ran a test on it at work.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27This 100 bill is real.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31So, let's assume it's all real.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35We push the button, we get a million dollars...
0:30:35 > 0:30:38and we can be responsible for the death of another human being.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Is that something we can live with?
0:30:49 > 0:30:50What if it's someone's baby?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54What if it's a murderer on death row?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56What if it's our neighbours across the street?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Do you even know them?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Doug and Donna.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07What is it to really know someone, Norma?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Do you know me?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Better than you know yourself.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Do you know Walter?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Even better than I know you.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30What do we want to do, Norma?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42It's just a box.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53911 Emergency, how may I direct your call?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Excuse me, you need to slow down.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I can't understand what you're saying.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01So, you heard loud screaming? Then a gunshot?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05SIRENS BLARE
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I heard a gunshot!
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Then he ran out the front door with a briefcase and got in his car!
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Ma'am, get back inside.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Take the boy and go back inside right now.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Jimmy.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Check her pulse.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38BANGING UPSTAIRS
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Let's go.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51LOUD BANGING
0:32:54 > 0:32:56CHILD SCREAMING
0:32:56 > 0:32:58BANGING
0:32:59 > 0:33:01All right, get back, I got to kick the door down.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Get away from the door!
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Jesus.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Shh. It's OK.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23DOORBELL RINGS
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Hello, Mrs Lewis.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Hello.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Shall I come in?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Hello. You must be Mr Lewis.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Forgive me, I have a rather busy day. Shall we?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Do you have the key?
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Thank you.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29There we are. One million dollars.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37You can count it, if you like.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Did someone...?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Die?- Yeah.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Of course.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48You said before that the button unit would be reprogrammed.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Yes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53What happens now? Are you going to make the offer to someone else?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Well, yes, Mrs Lewis. That's how it works.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And I can promise you that the offer will be made
0:34:58 > 0:35:00to someone you don't know.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26No.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Hey.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Hey.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38We don't want your money. Take it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I'm sorry, Mr Lewis.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42The button has been pushed.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Good day.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Hey.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Open the door.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Open the door!
0:36:00 > 0:36:04XH34568. I got his license plate.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14What are you thinking, Norma?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Someone we don't know.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Does that mean we're next?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Is that what he meant?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22All right, let's just...
0:36:27 > 0:36:28- Walter.- Yeah.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30OK, put the money in the safe.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45No, not today!
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Homework first.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Clean out your lunch pail too, OK?
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Come on.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59We got ourselves another domestic homicide.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01This time it's the wife.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Really?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05The victim's name is Diane Carnes,
0:37:05 > 0:37:0731 years old, gunshot wound to the chest.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10They found her little girl locked in the bathroom.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Husband? - Husband is unaccounted for.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Neighbours saw him bolt out the front door after they heard a gunshot.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Has the husband got any priors?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23No. And that's the thing.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Husband is Jeffrey Carnes...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27described as a loving father by all the neighbours...
0:37:27 > 0:37:30and he's a rocket scientist.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Works for NASA.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Really?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53It doesn't hurt anymore.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Merry Christmas, sir. - Merry Christmas.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25- Thank you.- My pleasure.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Enjoy your evening.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43All of this for a rehearsal dinner?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Remember our rehearsal dinner?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- You mean the keg party in the backyard?- Yeah, that.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Here's my little girl.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Hello.- Oh! Look at the way she walks. You float.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You knew about that?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Santa came early and brought your step back.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09That he did, Mama.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- How are you, Dick?- How are you, Arthur?- Good to see you.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Hi, Lana.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Arthur, now, is Norma still cutting your hair?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Yeah, who are you, Lynyrd or Skynyrd?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Honey, they're not going to let you into outer space with those sideburns.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Mama, everybody's wearing them like that now.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Well, honey, I know, but...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Forget about it. Where did you get that?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Right back over in there. - All right. You want something?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Sherry.- All right.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Excuse me.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Could I have your attention? We'd like to thank all of you
0:40:40 > 0:40:45for coming out on such an unseasonably cold night in Richmond.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Now, I'm told that I'm supposed to keep this quite short
0:40:48 > 0:40:52because we have another 43 speeches coming tonight.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Friends of the bride and groom
0:40:54 > 0:40:58have very generously donated this array of gifts.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59And it being the holiday season,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01we thought it'd be a good idea to have a...
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Well, to have a holiday gift drawing.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- All right, Lana, let's.... - You need to mix these up.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Let's do it. OK, I will. - Like you're spiking a punch bowl.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11LAUGHTER
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- He knows how to do that! - No, I've never done that.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Never done that.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17All right, here we go.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21My son-in-law. Not you. Arthur.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Come on up.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- Boys.- I have to get up?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Come on up, Arthur. Come on up.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Folks, I did not rig this. I'm an honest cop. I swear I am.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34All right, get your gift, lucky.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- All right, just pick anything here? - Any gift that you like, yes, sir.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Just leave those golf clubs, all right? Those are mine.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- LAUGHING:- No, you can have the clubs, you can have the clubs.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07You know, I'm just going to take this box right here.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- He's so polite. - That's a nice plain gift, isn't it?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12All right, here we go. Let's get another one here.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Oh, mysterious.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Leticia!
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Come on up, Leticia. - Well? Open it.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Why don't you go put it in the car? We'll open it up when we get home.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25- No.- No.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28You got to open it here, see what's inside the box.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Yeah, come on, open it.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Arthur, that's him.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48What is it, a photograph?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Yeah. Yeah.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Well, let's see it. - No, no, it's an inside joke.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57It's private.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Oh, nice. All right, yeah, we know about that.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03We've taken some private photographs. We could trade up.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Let your minds run wild with that.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Is that the one you brought?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09What about this rehearsal dinner?
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Can you imagine what the wedding's going to be like?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Astounding Science Fiction.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26"Day of the Moron"?
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Yeah. My dad collects comics.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40What else does he collect?
0:43:41 > 0:43:46Well, he has a bunch of Mars stuff in the basement. You want to see?
0:43:46 > 0:43:47Yeah.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Come on.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16What's your dad have to do with the Viking?
0:44:16 > 0:44:18He helped design the camera.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21They designed it so that it photographs 360 degrees.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23It scans the image one line at a time.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27Takes about five minutes to complete one revolution.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30How do they get the images from Mars back to Earth?
0:44:30 > 0:44:31Radio transmissions.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33They figured out a way to interpret the data
0:44:33 > 0:44:35and then print it out on film.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39How long does it take to transmit the signal?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42About two hours. The signal travels 58 million miles
0:44:42 > 0:44:44in about five minutes.

0:45:45 > 0:45:50Arthur, that was a wonderful thing you did for Norma.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52I don't know what she'd do without you.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55I don't know what I'd do without her.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Really, I don't.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- That was the perfect gift. - Thank you.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Thank you.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- MUSIC:- "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek And The Dominos

0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Well, how did you work that out? - No, no, no.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55Hey, listen, you think you could run a license plate for me?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57This is a black sedan.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59You think you could find out who owns it?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Yeah, sure. What's going on?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03It's just someone hanging around the house, you know.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- It's probably nothing, just want to be safe.- Yeah. It's worth checking.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27What's the deal with this kid? He flashed me the peace sign.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- He's one of your students, isn't he? - Norma didn't tell you?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32No, she didn't. What's...?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36Well, he humiliated her in front of the entire class.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38He made fun of her foot.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52Oh!
0:47:52 > 0:47:55You've got a bloody nose.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Thank you.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Is there something I can get for you?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Well, you said that I had a phone call.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Yes. Right here.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Hello?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Mrs Lewis, hello. It's Arlington Steward.
0:48:21 > 0:48:27I see your husband has contacted the police about my vehicle.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30I have quite a few employees.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34Listen, we don't want anyone to get hurt.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Well, if you didn't want anyone to get hurt,
0:48:36 > 0:48:38you shouldn't have pushed the button.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42We don't want any more trouble, OK?
0:48:42 > 0:48:45I'm afraid trouble has found you, Mrs Lewis.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48There are always consequences.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51The test will continue until the button unit is reprogrammed.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54OK, what are we supposed to do now?
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Listen to your conscience.
0:48:58 > 0:48:59Do what it tells you.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Enjoy the party.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21HE LAUGHS
0:49:34 > 0:49:36What did you say to my wife?
0:49:36 > 0:49:38You want to tell me what you said to my wife?
0:49:38 > 0:49:41Is that funny to you? Is that funny?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Making fun of someone's disfigurement's funny to you?
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Is that funny to you?! Huh?!
0:49:45 > 0:49:50No, Mr Lewis. It's not funny, it's tragic.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Arthur...
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Are you OK, son?
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Thank you.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Dana? We're back.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Oh, OK.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55- Do you have a ride home?- No.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57OK, Arthur can take you.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00- OK.- Here you go.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02- Thanks.- Thank you.
0:51:08 > 0:51:09So where am I taking you?
0:51:09 > 0:51:13There's a motel off I95, the Galaxy Motor Lodge.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15You're staying in a motel?
0:51:15 > 0:51:19Yeah. My parents bought a new house, but it's not ready yet.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39You've got blood on your hands.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45- What do you mean by that? - Your hands.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Are those blood stains?
0:51:49 > 0:51:52Oh. Uh... Yeah, I got into a fight tonight.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Embarrassed everyone and ruined the whole party.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Somebody pushing your buttons?
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Why would you say that?
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Just an expression.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Don't jump to conclusions.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14You'll get yourself in a whole heap of trouble.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Well, I'm already in a whole heap of trouble.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23What are you going to do about it?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26I don't know. You got any suggestions?
0:52:26 > 0:52:27Look into the light.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34- The light? - Yeah, the light.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Soon you'll be blinded by it.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41What is "the light"?
0:52:43 > 0:52:45I cannot remember.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50I cannot remember.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56SHE HYPERVENTILATES
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Dana?
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Dana?
0:53:11 > 0:53:12Wake up.
0:53:14 > 0:53:15Dana?
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Jesus Christ.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59SHE COUGHS
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Are you OK?
0:54:00 > 0:54:03You have to get out of here. It's not safe for you here.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Slow down. What are you talking about?
0:54:05 > 0:54:08There's only one person who can save you now.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Look in the mirror. You'll see.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Dana! Dana!
0:54:19 > 0:54:22TV: "The first picture you saw which included the footpads...
0:54:22 > 0:54:25"took about five minutes to take on Mars...

0:55:54 > 0:55:56On our field trip to the Kennedy Center in DC.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Right. And she said she lives in Richmond?
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Yeah, we rode back on the same bus.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04OK. This is her driver's license.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Her name is Sarah Matthews.
0:56:07 > 0:56:08She lives in Boston.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46Hello, Norma.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50Hello.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53Did your husband tell you where he was going this morning?
0:57:54 > 0:57:56No, he didn't.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00I hope for your sake he isn't playing detective again.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03Though I assure you, I'll know if he is.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06Because of your employees?
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Is Dana one of your employees?
0:58:08 > 0:58:12As I've told you, I have many employees.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Can I see you? In person?
0:58:18 > 0:58:21I want to meet face to face.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23I'm looking at you right now, Norma.
0:58:25 > 0:58:26Excuse me?
0:58:26 > 0:58:28I'm in your backyard.
0:58:55 > 0:58:57Are you still there?
0:59:03 > 0:59:04Mr Steward?
0:59:23 > 0:59:27All right, hold on. We want to get this straight.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29You've had the wind tunnel for months.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32Now you want the lunar lander and the hangar?
0:59:32 > 0:59:34That is correct.
0:59:34 > 0:59:37- The NSA activity... - What kind of activity?
0:59:37 > 0:59:41The activities will occasionally involve NASA employees,
0:59:41 > 0:59:45but I am not at liberty to disclose how they will be involved
0:59:45 > 0:59:46or what they will be doing.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48I think this whole thing's outrageous,
0:59:48 > 0:59:50but we don't really have any choice, do we?
0:59:51 > 0:59:54No. You don't.
0:59:56 > 0:59:58Did you get a chance to run that license plate yet?
0:59:58 > 1:00:00Yeah, I did.
1:00:00 > 1:00:02It's a government-issue license plate.
1:00:02 > 1:00:04It's a town car licensed for use by the NSA.
1:00:05 > 1:00:07The NSA?
1:00:08 > 1:00:11Jesus Christ.
1:00:13 > 1:00:14What are those?
1:00:14 > 1:00:19This guy's wife, she was shot once in the chest. Point-blank range.
1:00:19 > 1:00:22Whoever shot her held a gun directly to her chest
1:00:22 > 1:00:25and fired the bullet straight through her heart.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27The husband works at Langley.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32Was there any sign of a struggle?
1:00:32 > 1:00:33No?
1:00:33 > 1:00:37There's no skin under her nails, no bruises.
1:00:38 > 1:00:40What time did she die?
1:00:40 > 1:00:43Neighbours say they heard the shot at 4:45pm.
1:00:47 > 1:00:49What's all this to you, Arthur?
1:00:51 > 1:00:53Do you think you could take me to his house?
1:00:58 > 1:01:01Well, your sister feels awful about last night.
1:01:01 > 1:01:04Arthur's just sick about it, too.
1:01:04 > 1:01:05Well, Norma, let me just say this.
1:01:05 > 1:01:08Daddy and I have always marvelled at your strength
1:01:08 > 1:01:12and how positive you always are, even since your injury.
1:01:12 > 1:01:15And I just wonder if maybe sometimes...
1:01:15 > 1:01:18we don't take for granted that you are all right?
1:01:18 > 1:01:20I'm fine, Mama.
1:01:28 > 1:01:29The NSA is letting him do it.
1:01:29 > 1:01:32NASA can't stop it. Test subjects are all under 40,
1:01:32 > 1:01:34happily married with a single child.
1:01:34 > 1:01:36Go to the Richmond Library. Follow this call number.
1:01:36 > 1:01:38Don't trust anyone, not even your husband.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40Oh, my Lord
1:01:40 > 1:01:43She's bleeding! Somebody call for help.
1:01:43 > 1:01:44Oh, my heavens.
1:01:46 > 1:01:51Who is that woman, Norma? Do you know her?
1:01:51 > 1:01:53No, I don't, Mama.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59Listen, I have a lot of errands to run before the wedding.
1:01:59 > 1:02:02Can I drop you off at home?
1:02:15 > 1:02:17Ah-ah-ah, don't touch.
1:02:17 > 1:02:18That's him.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21He's the public relations manager at Langley.
1:02:21 > 1:02:24- What's his name? - Arlington Steward.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27- Steward? - Steward with a D.
1:02:27 > 1:02:29- Can you check him out? - Yeah.
1:02:31 > 1:02:33There's three dead so far.
1:02:33 > 1:02:37"Human Resource Exploitation Manual."
1:02:38 > 1:02:39Call numbers?
1:02:39 > 1:02:42'I want to put in a request for a search warrant down in Langley.
1:02:42 > 1:02:45'But don't put the request in through my office.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47'Whatever it is, it's bigger than you and me.'
1:07:06 > 1:07:10Excuse me, I'm looking for the nearest exit.
1:07:10 > 1:07:14You aren't an employee. This library is for employees only.
1:07:17 > 1:07:19You're his wife.
1:07:19 > 1:07:21I am Clymene.
1:07:50 > 1:07:51What does he want from us?
1:07:51 > 1:07:54He's testing you.
1:07:54 > 1:07:56He's testing all of us.
1:07:58 > 1:08:00Please, follow me.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21There are three gateways,
1:08:21 > 1:08:24but you may choose only one.
1:08:24 > 1:08:27Be careful which gateway you choose
1:08:27 > 1:08:31for there is only one path to salvation.
1:09:22 > 1:09:24Have a seat, Mrs Lewis.
1:09:47 > 1:09:50(Indistinguishable from magic.)
1:09:51 > 1:09:56Lightning strikes the earth 100 times per second.
1:09:56 > 1:09:58A single bolt of lightning can reach temperatures
1:09:58 > 1:10:03approaching 28,000 degrees Celsius in a split second.
1:10:04 > 1:10:08This is five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12Is that what happened to you?
1:10:12 > 1:10:14You were struck by lightning?
1:10:14 > 1:10:15Yes.
1:10:17 > 1:10:22And now I am in communication with those who control the lightning.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27And what lies behind the other two?
1:10:27 > 1:10:29Eternal damnation.
1:10:32 > 1:10:33Right.
1:10:38 > 1:10:42What's the emotion you felt when you first laid eyes on me, Norma?
1:10:42 > 1:10:45- I felt... - You felt what?
1:10:45 > 1:10:47- I felt...- Pity?
1:10:47 > 1:10:48Love.
1:10:51 > 1:10:53You felt love for me?
1:10:53 > 1:10:54Yes.
1:10:54 > 1:10:57Why?
1:10:57 > 1:11:00Because of my disfigurement.
1:11:00 > 1:11:04Because of all of the pain that it ever caused me in my life.
1:11:06 > 1:11:11I thought what it would be like to have all of that pain
1:11:11 > 1:11:16magnified and projected onto my face.
1:11:22 > 1:11:24And if I refuse?
1:11:24 > 1:11:25Eternal damnation.
1:11:29 > 1:11:32You have chosen Gateway number two.
1:11:42 > 1:11:46I saw that pain on your face and I just...
1:11:46 > 1:11:48I understood it.
1:11:51 > 1:11:55I felt an overwhelming feeling of love for you
1:11:55 > 1:11:58because I knew that I would never
1:11:58 > 1:12:01feel sorry for myself ever again.
1:12:11 > 1:12:13Take my hand, Norma.
1:14:08 > 1:14:10You don't remember coming home, do you?
1:14:11 > 1:14:14You came in your car. You walked in the door like a zombie.
1:14:14 > 1:14:17You didn't say anything. You just went straight up to bed.
1:14:19 > 1:14:21Where did all this water come from?
1:14:21 > 1:14:24- Why isn't Dad telling us what happened?- Walter.
1:14:24 > 1:14:26Go down to the basement and get me more buckets, all right?
1:14:26 > 1:14:29- But I just want... - Walter.
1:14:29 > 1:14:30Fine.
1:14:41 > 1:14:44Can you tell me what happened?
1:14:44 > 1:14:46I need a drink.
1:15:00 > 1:15:03WALTER: Are we still going to the wedding?
1:15:03 > 1:15:04Yeah.
1:15:08 > 1:15:10There is only so much information that I can disclose.
1:15:10 > 1:15:12I understand.
1:15:16 > 1:15:20In the hours following the first Viking transmission from Mars,
1:15:20 > 1:15:22your colleague Arlington Steward
1:15:22 > 1:15:25was struck by lightning while standing here on this platform.
1:15:25 > 1:15:28Yes. And we haven't heard from him since then.
1:15:28 > 1:15:30He's...
1:15:30 > 1:15:32something else now.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35ECHOING THROUGH SPEAKER: 'What do you mean?
1:15:35 > 1:15:37'Arlington Steward died shortly after being admitted
1:15:37 > 1:15:40'to the burn unit at Riverside Hospital.
1:15:40 > 1:15:42'Several hours after his body was taken to the morgue
1:15:42 > 1:15:44'and locked in a freezer storage unit
1:15:44 > 1:15:47'a nurse heard a voice coming from behind a metal door.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50'It was a man, laughing.
1:15:50 > 1:15:53'Mr Steward had come back from the dead
1:15:53 > 1:15:54'and he was laughing hysterically.'
1:15:56 > 1:15:59'He was then transferred to a high security military hospital.
1:15:59 > 1:16:01'Soon after, we realized he was
1:16:01 > 1:16:04'demonstrating some extraordinary capabilities.'

1:17:14 > 1:17:16Hi.
1:17:18 > 1:17:21- You can't drink too much now, all right?- All right.
1:17:26 > 1:17:30Sir, if you don't mind my asking...
1:17:31 > 1:17:33..why a box?
1:17:37 > 1:17:38Your home is a box.
1:17:40 > 1:17:43Your car is a box on wheels.
1:17:43 > 1:17:46You drive to work in it. You drive home in it.
1:17:48 > 1:17:52You sit in your home, staring into a box.
1:17:52 > 1:17:54It erodes your soul
1:17:54 > 1:17:58while the box that is your body inevitably withers, then dies.
1:17:59 > 1:18:04Whereupon it is placed in the ultimate box to slowly decompose.
1:18:06 > 1:18:09It's quite depressing when you think of it that way.
1:18:09 > 1:18:12Don't think of it that way.
1:18:12 > 1:18:14Think of it as a temporary state of being.
1:18:18 > 1:18:20What happens...
1:18:20 > 1:18:23once you've completed your tests?
1:18:23 > 1:18:26I submit the data to my employers...
1:18:26 > 1:18:30and then your fate rests in their hands.
1:18:30 > 1:18:33One cannot say they are not without a bizarre sense of humour.
1:18:35 > 1:18:37Look at me.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40I wouldn't know, sir, of whom it is that you speak.
1:18:40 > 1:18:45Your...employers remain a mystery to us all.
1:18:45 > 1:18:47I like mystery.
1:18:49 > 1:18:50Don't you?
1:18:53 > 1:18:55How do we pass the test?
1:18:55 > 1:18:57Isn't it obvious?
1:18:57 > 1:18:59Simply don't press the button.
1:18:59 > 1:19:03If enough of you don't, the test will conclude.
1:19:03 > 1:19:07But there will be more tests to come.
1:19:07 > 1:19:09'Walk directly into the light.
1:19:09 > 1:19:13'Do not turn back under any circumstances.'
1:19:13 > 1:19:15When you walk into the light,
1:19:15 > 1:19:17you're going to feel your body submerged in a liquid.
1:19:17 > 1:19:20Try to hold your breath.
1:19:20 > 1:19:23If you feel a drowning sensation, it will pass.
1:19:50 > 1:19:52Where are you sending them?
1:19:52 > 1:19:56To prepare for the next test in Massachusetts.
1:19:58 > 1:20:02You spoke earlier about the altruism coefficient.
1:20:02 > 1:20:04If human beings are unable
1:20:04 > 1:20:07or unwilling to sacrifice individual desires
1:20:07 > 1:20:10for the greater good of your species, you will have no chance for survival.
1:20:10 > 1:20:15And my employers will be compelled to expedite your extinction.
1:20:15 > 1:20:17Clear?
1:20:17 > 1:20:19Yes, sir.

1:21:01 > 1:21:03I was gone, Norma.
1:21:05 > 1:21:08I was gone for nearly an hour.
1:21:12 > 1:21:15What did you see?
1:21:15 > 1:21:18What was there in the light?
1:21:25 > 1:21:27Words can't describe it.
1:21:29 > 1:21:32It's a place...
1:21:32 > 1:21:34neither here nor there...
1:21:36 > 1:21:38..but somewhere in between.
1:21:46 > 1:21:48It's a warm embrace.
1:21:51 > 1:21:54A place where...
1:21:54 > 1:21:56the sidewalk ends...
1:21:58 > 1:22:02..and despair is no longer the governor of the human heart.
1:22:24 > 1:22:27Dad. What's going on?
1:22:34 > 1:22:36I'm going to be sick, Walter.
1:22:59 > 1:23:00You can still save yourself.
1:23:00 > 1:23:04It's too late for me, but you can still save yourself.
1:23:05 > 1:23:09Jeffrey Carnes. Boy, do I got a lot of questions for you.
1:23:09 > 1:23:13If you want to survive this thing, you'll come with me. Right now.
1:23:13 > 1:23:16All right, why don't you put the gun down before someone sees you?
1:23:17 > 1:23:19Get in the truck.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21All right.
1:23:47 > 1:23:48Dad!

1:24:53 > 1:24:55Yeah.

1:25:41 > 1:25:43- What? - But I know where it has him hidden.
1:25:43 > 1:25:47There's a motel off I95. It's... Steward's employees took your son there.
1:25:47 > 1:25:49It's a transport hub.
1:25:49 > 1:25:51There's a swimming pool they use, a sort of gateway.
1:26:07 > 1:26:09So, did you push the button or was it your wife?
1:26:11 > 1:26:15- My wife. - Yeah. Yeah, mine too.
1:26:17 > 1:26:19And now she's dead.
1:26:20 > 1:26:22Did you kill her?
1:26:22 > 1:26:24I did it for my daughter.
1:26:24 > 1:26:26What do you mean, you did it for your daughter?

1:28:39 > 1:28:42will have greater ramifications than you can possibly fathom.
1:30:03 > 1:30:05Please, have a seat.
1:30:07 > 1:30:10Where's our son?
1:30:10 > 1:30:13He's in a safe place. We'll get to him in a moment.
1:30:13 > 1:30:14Please sit down.
1:30:23 > 1:30:25I want you to know...
1:30:25 > 1:30:29that I have the deepest respect and admiration for you both.
1:30:32 > 1:30:34You gave me hope.

1:30:43 > 1:30:45I'm afraid I have to tell you

1:30:50 > 1:30:54He can no longer see and he can no longer hear.
1:30:59 > 1:31:01Where is he?
1:31:02 > 1:31:03What have you done with him?
1:31:04 > 1:31:09I have done nothing with him. I am just a vessel.
1:31:10 > 1:31:14You are now presented with two options.
1:31:14 > 1:31:17Option one, you can live the rest of your lives
1:31:17 > 1:31:20and enjoy the money that has been given to you
1:31:20 > 1:31:23and learn to live with your son's permanent impairment.
1:31:23 > 1:31:25It is irreversible.
1:31:25 > 1:31:29He will never hear your voices or see your faces again.
1:31:43 > 1:31:44Option two...
1:31:47 > 1:31:50..there is one bullet in the chamber of this gun.
1:31:51 > 1:31:54You can fire it into your wife's heart, killing her.
1:31:55 > 1:31:58At the exact moment your spirit leaves your body
1:31:58 > 1:32:00your son will be returned to normal.
1:32:05 > 1:32:07As for the million dollars,
1:32:07 > 1:32:09it will be placed into an interest-bearing account
1:32:09 > 1:32:12given to your son on his 18th birthday.
1:32:14 > 1:32:19Let me kill myself. Arthur has nothing to do with this.
1:32:19 > 1:32:23I'm sorry. The offer is non-negotiable.
1:32:24 > 1:32:26Arthur, you must fire the gun.
1:32:26 > 1:32:28Norma, you must die.
1:32:28 > 1:32:34Or Walter will live for ever in darkness and silence.

1:32:59 > 1:33:04You will be imprisoned for the murder of Arlington Steward, a mere employee.
1:33:04 > 1:33:07And they will simply send another to replace me.
1:33:10 > 1:33:12Who?
1:33:12 > 1:33:15- Who will send another? - Arthur, please don't.
1:33:15 > 1:33:17- Who?- Don't.
1:33:18 > 1:33:20Good day to you.
1:33:42 > 1:33:44Mr Steward.
1:33:49 > 1:33:51Can I be forgiven?
1:33:53 > 1:33:55I don't know.
1:33:57 > 1:34:01I understand you admire the writings of Jean Paul Sartre.
1:34:01 > 1:34:04Perhaps these words will comfort you.
1:34:05 > 1:34:09There are two ways to enter the final chamber:
1:34:09 > 1:34:12free or not free.
1:34:12 > 1:34:14The choice is ours.
1:34:16 > 1:34:20HE PANTS
1:34:27 > 1:34:30You gave me a glimpse of the afterlife, didn't you?

1:38:14 > 1:38:17- He did, did he?- Yeah.
